Thailand

Please understand that even if I do speak in a forceful manner, I am doing so out of goodwill.

I ask your forgiveness if there is anything I say that upsets you, because the customs of Thailand and those of the West are not the same.

Actually, speaking a little forcefully can be good, because it helps to stir people up who might otherwise be sleepy or drowsy.

and rather than rousing themselves to hear the Dhamma, allow themselves to drift instead into complacency, and as a result, they never understand anything.

yeah so we show up at a waffle house to get a coffee before we go to the track and some guy working at the waffle house sees us walking and goes what are you guys going to prom oh

why are you still doing the radio show you should just do flown off to Thailand or something after that.

There's no coming back for that when the Waffle House guy lays you

out.

So I prefer to think of that rather than they were just a race of giants.

Next place we're going to visit on our little journey here is Thailand.

Now, I spent a month in Thailand.

What an amazing country.

It's so many contrasts, but it's beautiful, beautiful temples there.

So it is thought that after the fall of Mu, many Lemurian refugees and their descendants migrated across China in the then-fertile Gobi Desert, into various parts of Southeast Asia.

We see a lot of Lemurian influence in these civilizations, particularly Thailand.

So these people spent the next 69 centuries elevating their scientific spirituality to level of achievements, particularly in the construction of these beautiful temples.

And I look upon it, yeah, so what, I'm not worried about these things.

And when I was in Thailand, I said, it would be wonderful if I get swine flu, because then you get into quarantine.

If I'm in quarantine for a week or two, that's like going on a meditation retreat.

I won't have to give any talks.

He's a leprechaun.

Now, he feels about Ireland the way I feel about Thailand.

Is that a fair statement?

Yeah, that's right.

Choose confidently from rentals you can trust.

Vrbo, book now a vacation rental loved by guests.

I've had a lot of people ask me, when are you going to announce your Legends of Siam, Thailand and Cambodia? I do this once a year.

I keep it to 36 people.

And I'm very pleased to say she joins us from Thailand now on the year that made me.

Welcome, Rose.

Thank you so much, Julian, for inviting me and letting me have a few minutes to tell a bit about what's happening here on the Thai-Myanmar border.

It's a very great pleasure.

And the Thai-Myanmar border sounds a very long way away from Canberra, where you grew up, Rose.

Tell us about your early years and the family you grew up in.

I miss my family very much, and yes, at times it seems very, very far away.

He could see my fumbleness and awkwardness.

When Cecil, one of the last loads that we did was a tie load up in Seattle, the barge wasn't ready.

All right, the boat comes in finally from Thailand, and the barge, Slow Dave didn't get the barge ready, so Slow Dave gets on the tugboat, goes out to the boat, and brings it back.

So Slow Dave is like an unsung hero in this world of smuggling.

He would have the balls to go out by himself, and the tugboat was all by himself, and the Annie Gray, that was the boat that offloaded the first...

Well, Panama is actually number one.

Middle and Croatia? Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and Thailand.

And here's what's amazing about all of those places.

When they predict...

I hope that the healthcare facilities that we are building and imagining in the United States of America can learn from the lessons of other places in the world that have done patient experience in an extraordinary way.

We had a brief period of time where the National Hospital Network of Thailand was a client of ours.

And boy, did they understand patient experience there.

Now, much of what they do there is medical tourism, but they do it extraordinarily well.
